Robert Bruce Banner

Robert Bruce Banner (13 February 1966-) was an American gamma radiation scientist and a public enemy for several years. Banner was exposed to a large amount of radiation, but due to a mutation, he was able to survive, and grew into a strong monster called "The Hulk" whenever he was stressed or angry. Banner was hunted down by the United States government's National Security Agency specialized group "The Division" under Emil Blonsky, who answered to General Thaddeus Ross. Banner was able to defeat the government's attempts to kill him while he built a machine to cure himself, and while he was responsible for killing many US Army soldiers, destroying buildings and vehicles, and killing civilians, he also had a sense of morality and struggled against his violent impulses.

Biography
Robert Bruce Banner was born on 13 February 1966. He became an accomplished gamma radiation scientist, and was sought after by the United States government for his skills in that field. General Thaddeus Ross experimented on him, hoping to recreate the super-soldier program that was started back in 1942 by Dr. Abraham Erskine and tested on Steve Rogers. He survived the tests, but the tests had a different result. Whenever his heartbeat rose to above 200 due to stress or anger, Banner would transform into a green monster with extreme strength. He could lift up tanks, destroy buildings and vehicles with his bare hands, and withstand superhuman amounts of damage. Nicknamed "The Hulk", Banner became a threat to the government, and sometimes, the Hulk would take over. His senses of morality would be impaired and he would injure or kill innocent people and destroy buildings, and the Hulk was hunted down by the government, with General Ross becoming his archenemy. Banner befriended fellow scientist Doc Samson, who helped him in his quest to reverse his mutation, and Samson used a church as a base.

By 2005, he went into hiding in the badlands of South Dakota with Samson, and the two decided to begin work on a machine that would cure Banner of his mutation.
